Carla257 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I am looking for floating candle molds. I've have looked everywhere!! I want the round looking ones. I have never tried burning a floating candle before so I'm not very farmilliar with them. How is a floating candle suppose to burn? I mean how does the wax not drip out. Can anyone clarify?

Sherri in Canada Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 You wick it like a pillar so it leaves a thin shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I wick them using votive sizes. As long as the wick isn't huge, you shouldn't have too much of a problem. The shell stays a bit cooler because it's sitting in water. Even if it were to spill a bit, it won't go far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I make SURE the bottom of the candle is good & sealed with wax before floating them - Nearly all suppliers carry molds for them, but you can make your own or use tart molds. There's nothing prettier than twinkling candles floating in water! I put them in my little pond when I am having guests in for the evening - they look so inviting and merry!

Carla257 Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 I'm going to try making them soon. But I am looking for the round molds. I can't seem to find them anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 If you want completely round, you could use muffin pans and only pour them about half full... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Is this the one you are looking for?Pourette use to carry it, I have one from them, but of coure they are out of business. I haven't found it yet, but I'm sure it must be out there. It is a 2 part plastic mold.Good LuckBTW - I don't like the metal tart molds for floaters, because they have a flat top, when you place them in the water you get water on top of the floter and the wick drowns out.

Carla257 Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Yes!! that is the exact mold I'm looking for. I still can't find it anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 You could get a silicone mold made for you, they might sell them already. This site has very good molds. I bought a couple and love them. Fast service and price is good. Scroll down, there are a couple of different ones. http://stores.ebay.com/Van-Yulay_Molds-Candle_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ14QQftidZ2QQtZkm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
